January is a bloody awful time of year for the tickets to go on sale in terms of being able to afford them, though. I just HAD to need a home heating oil refill (and purchase same this morning before the tour announcement) this week, didn't I? I would've been entitled to participate in the fan pre-sale on Wed morning and everything, dammit. Ah well ... I guess I can see if there are any left when I'm paid again in a couple of weeks, although I doubt it. Im just terrified it's going to sell out in 30 seconds. Nobody I know likes U2 but they sell 160,000 tickets in Dublin pretty quick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweeping Strings 2,317 Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 And of course, it means the gig would kick off with Where The Streets Have No Name, I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For and With Or Without You (and then those would be followed by Bullet The Blue Sky). WOW . And then there's this - 'You gotta cry without weeping, talk without speaking, scream without raising your voice' gives me goosebumps every single time. If there are still standing tickets left by the time I get paid again, damn straight I'll buy one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember Bono not being able to move, at Glasto, because it was icy, and he had the wrong shoes on. Didn't either Mr. Evans or Mr. Clayton once get stuck inside a giant lemon?

Sweeping Strings 2,317 Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 There was a gig on the Innocence and Experience tour where the Edge did indeed fall off the edge of the walkway that was part of the staging (the headline writers had a field day with that one. luckily he wasn't seriously hurt). And yes, at one of the PopMart gigs the entire band got stuck inside the giant mirrorball lemon - - when it refused to open for them to begin their encore. They were later to describe it as 'a perfect Spinal Tap moment'. Naïve Old Fart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naïve Old Fart 9,450 Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Yes, it reached. number two on the UK charts, in 1974. I think they would describe themselves as "Anglophiles". Their albums are uniformly excellent, but I'd single-out KIMONO MY HOUSE, and NO. 1 IN HEAVEN, as standouts. Now post BEAT THE CLOCK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bespin 8,457 Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Geez, while analyzing the italian discography of Charles Aznavour this week, I came to the conclusion that I have to add another album into the "studio" category... So the number is turning up to 91 instead of 90. Big deal, just as media around the world started to use my "90" !!! Well, only fools don't change their mind!!! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Aznavour_discography A verry Morricone sound on this one!
